TOP TIPS ON WINTER RUNNING WITH DECATHALON

What better feeling than a morning run in Winter? I’m all
for fasted morning cardio. I love getting up that extra hour earlier to push
myself to my limits with a morning run. Fasted cardio is a proven technique to
target stubborn fat pockets too. Main areas for women are around the back, hips
and inner thigh so if you suffer from shifting those final few pounds, then add
fasted cardio to your weekly routine to reap the benefits!

Now as we’re heading into Winter, you need to make sure
you’re dressed for the occasion when you’re running or working out outside. I
like to layer, simply because I can strip down if I need to but I always keep
my base layer on underneath my top. If you don’t wear the correct items, you
can easily get ill or pick up a nasty bug. You might feel warm, but if you’re
wearing little clothing then your body can’t function properly. My favourite
items to wear whilst running in Winter from Decathalon are Bodyskin Tights, which will
definitely keep your protected from the cold air. I usually wear the Bodyskin
Tights with either an extra pair of shorts over the top, or actual jersey
jogging bottoms – dependent on just how cold the weather is. Under my usual
Running Tops, I also layer up with a Bodyskin Long Sleeve Top for extra warmth.
Add a Waterproof Jacket for safe keeping – as you never know how the weather
might change and you’re ready for your fasted cardio morning run!

Start your routine with a light jog for around four minutes.
I use the NikeID App to motivate me as it lets you know how quickly you’ve ran
each mile.Choosing a scenic route
always helps too; I hate running back on myself or down the same long road. I
like to challenge myself by running on multiple surfaces too, mixing roads with
grass and hill climbing improves your stamina as your body has to constantly
change pace and technique.
